hosted by John Locke

4 p.m. Oct. 29, online at https://plattsburgh.zoom.us/j/97136479329 (Note:
This date was changed because of a scheduling conflict.)

Stress can be a scary thing. But sometimes, scaring each other can be fun
... and cathartic. Please join John Locke on Zoom for the first annual SUNY
Plattsburgh "Scare Off." Come prepared to tell your favorite ghost story or
recount a paranormal event that happened to you, or your "friend's cousin's
brother." The person who tells the best story according to the majority of
attendees will receive a special trophy from Locke's personal collection of
various (imitation) skulls and associated "scaraphernalia." Come to
participate or come to just listen. All are welcome ... if you dare!
